Sky Go, launched in 2006, lets you stream TV on iOS, Android, and desktop, but the app often feels stuck in the past. With subscriptions ranging from $35 to $90 monthly, you could save up to $1,080 a year by cancelling. Visit Sky. Just like the chaotic kitchen in The Bear, dealing with their support is high-stress and messy. Trustpilot shows a grim 1.5-star rating from over 20,000 reviews, with users screaming about "endless hold times" and "phantom charges" after cancelling. Recent price hikes have only added fuel to the fire. If you are done paying for buffering and reruns, let's shut it down.
How to Cancel Sky Go on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed to Sky Go Extra or a related package directly through the App Store, this is the fastest method. No phone calls required.
1 Open Settings
Tap the grey Settings gear icon on your home screen. Do not open the Sky app itself because they usually hide the cancel button there.
2 Tap Your Name
Click your Apple ID banner at the very top of the Settings menu. It has your name and profile picture on it.
3 Select Subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions. If you do not see it, check under 'Media & Purchases'. Wait a second for the list to load.
4 Cancel Sky Go
Find Sky Go in the list. Tap it, then hit Cancel Subscription. If you only see 'Renew', it is already cancelled.
How to Cancel Sky Go on Android
Android users billing through Google Play can bypass the customer service agents entirely. Here is how to do it.
1 Open Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app. Make sure you are signed into the correct Google account used for the purchase.
2 Access Payments
Tap your profile icon in the top right corner. Select Payments & subscriptions from the menu that pops up.
3 Find the Subscription
Tap Subscriptions. Scroll until you see Sky Go or Sky TV. Tap on it to view details.
4 Cancel It
Tap Cancel subscription at the bottom. Google will ask why you are leaving. Pick a reason and confirm.
How to Cancel Sky Go on Desktop
This is the trickiest method. Sky often removes the 'Cancel' button to force you into a retention chat. Keep your cool.
1 Log In
Go to Sky.com and sign in. You might need your Sky ID. If you forgot it, reset it now because you cannot proceed without it.
2 Go to My Sky
Click on My Sky in the navigation bar. Then look for Manage your package or Your Products.
3 Locate Sky Go Extra
Find the Sky Go or Sky Go Extra add-on. If you are cancelling the whole TV package, look for the main subscription.
4 Attempt Online Cancellation
Click Cancel. Warning: They often redirect you to a 'Contact Us' page here. If the button is missing, you have to use the chat or phone method below.
Cancel by Email or Live Chat
If the buttons are missing, you have to talk to a human. It is annoying, but often necessary.
- Live Chat: Available 7am to 11pm. Go to the 'Contact Us' page and select 'Cancel Sky TV'. A chat bubble should appear. Type "Cancel" repeatedly to get past the bot.
- Email: You can try emailing
[email protected], but responses are slow (up to 5 days). Include your account number and a clear statement: "I am giving notice to cancel my subscription immediately."
What is Sky Go Cancellation Policy
Sky's policy is strict and often frustrating. Typically, you must give 31 days' notice to cancel your main TV subscription, meaning you will pay one final bill after you tell them to stop. If you are in a minimum term contract (usually 18 months), they will charge you early termination fees that can cost hundreds of dollars. However, if you just have the Sky Go Extra rolling monthly add-on, you can usually cancel that anytime without a penalty, and it stops at the next billing date. Users on Trustpilot frequently complain that Sky "loses" cancellation requests, so keep a record of everything.
Before You Cancel Sky Go: What You Should Know
- Check Your Contract: Are you still in the 18-month lock-in period? If yes, the exit fees might be higher than just waiting it out.
- Data Deletion: Cancelling the sub does not delete your Sky ID. You have to request that separately if you want total erasure.
- Refunds: Generally, no. Sky does not refund partial months. You pay for the notice period (31 days) and keep access until that time is up.
- Retentions: They will offer you a discount to stay. If you just want a lower price, this is the time to haggle.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Sky Go Subscription?
Stuck in a loop? You are not alone. Here are a few tricks:
- Disable Ad Blockers: Sometimes the 'Cancel' button is coded as a pop-up. Turn off uBlock or AdBlock on the Sky website.
- Use Incognito Mode: Old cookies can glitch the 'My Account' page. Try a fresh private window.
- Check Third Parties: If you pay via a cable provider or a bundle, you cannot cancel through Sky directly. You must call your main provider.
